Aussie readers of DDNet, have we got a treat for you! (Note: this competition is only open to Australian residents. Apologies, overseas friends, but I’m sure we’ll have another contest for you soon) Stranger Of Paradise is one of the finest, and smartest, games in Square Enix’s storied series.

Why I can’t review Martha is Dead

I don’t believe topics should be ignored in games, but I do believe that certain issues need to be handled delicately; things like mental illness, sexual assault, and war are not topics to be taken lightly. LKA is, to me, best known for approaching some very sensitive topics in The…

DDNet/DDNet Poll/Poll/Saturday poll

Under most of our articles and reviews at Digitally Downloaded, you will see a simple two-option poll, powered by Twitter. There’s a reason for that! Each week we collect together the most interesting poll results for the week and do a little wrap on them for the weekend. That’s what…

Gadget Review: Apple TV (2015) and SteelSeries Nimbus controller

November 6, 2015

Apple/Apple TV/controller/Gadget/Gadget Review/Hardware/Hardware Review/microconsole/SteelSeries/SteelSeries Nimbus

For years Apple has been insisting that its Apple TV product line has been a “hobby”; something that was of personal interest to Steve Jobs, but never an important product category expected to sell millions in its own right. But this year’s iteration is a very different story. I’ve always…

Eiyuu Senki/Fruitbat Factory/PlayStation 3 Review/Reviews/Sony PlayStation 3/Strategy/tactics game/visual novel

If Eiyuu Senki is the last new release PlayStation 3 game that I play, then the console will have gone out on a high. Looking at the release schedule going forward for the console, it’s very limited indeed, so I do suspect that this will be the last exclusive to…

Review: Divinity: Original Sin – Enhanced Edition (Sony PlayStation 4)

November 5, 2015

Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition/Larian Studios/Maximum Games/PS4 Review/Retro/Reviews/RPG/Sony PlayStation 4

Divinity: Original Sin – Enhanced Edition somehow manages to be an even better game than the already-lauded PC original release, and it makes the transition to console – devices that are simply not used to these kinds of classic Balder’s Gate-era RPGs – wonderfully. There is a distinct quality about…

Review: WWE 2K16 (Sony PlayStation 4)

November 5, 2015

2K Sports/Fighting game/PS4 Review/Reviews/Sony PlayStation 4/wrestling game/WWE 2K16/Yuke's

WWE 2K16 rights many of the mistakes that showed up in last year’s game. The end result is an entertaining title that still has some room for improvement, but by and large offers redemption for a series that was in need of strong release this year. It is always a…

Review: Tales From The Borderlands: Episode 5 – The Vault of the Traveler (Microsoft Xbox 360)

November 4, 2015

adventure game/adventure games/episodic game/Microsoft/Reviews/Tales From The Borderlands: Episode 5 - The Vault of the Traveler/telltale games/Xbox 360 Review

From the beginning, the idea of a Borderlands game as a narrative-heavy affair from Telltale Games struck me as a potentially weird mix. So here’s the thing: it worked. It worked so well in fact, that now we have the last episode accounted for, I can say that this was…
